[Reader-users] hardware configertion

[Gashel, James]

Hi Rob:

The PDA's used in the Reader are not used as PDA's at all.  Their entire
use is taken up with powering the Reader.  So, you should think of the
Reader as one device, not as separate components.  None of the functions
of the separate components are being used, other than the functionality
they provide for the Reader itself.  Substitute PDA's or cameras will
not work.

Hi, I have a question about the two types of PDA's that comes with  the
reader? Are the two PDA the same make or is one a HP and the other one
some thing else???
    THANKS ROB
